Floating Gallery Using Flash Cs4


Step 1: open a new flash file. Set the width to 600 pixels and the height to 540 pixels. For this pictorial we need 8 images. We have to resize them with 330*330 for the main image and 75*75 thumbnail images. Name the images image-0 to image-7 and thumb-0 to thumb-7 and then import them into the library (File-> import->import to library).

image-2172

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: By using oval tool (O) to creating a dark grey circle (#323232) circle, without an outline by using dimensions and positions below. I have reduced the magnification in Flash to 50%, so that it’s easier to see.

image-2173

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: To convert the oval into an MOVIE CLIP (Movie Clip Symbol) called “background”, by pressing F8.

image-2174

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Convert this Movie Clip into another one called “gallery” and then, from the properties panel, give it the instance name “gallery”. After that action script will be used to give the gallery some functionality and the instance names given to the MOVIE CLIP’s will be used to reference them.

image-2175

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5: Double click on the “gallery” movie clip and then on the “background” movie clip. Name the layer with the dark oval “background 1”. Create the second layer called “background” and with the lighter grey (#505050) oval on this layer.

image-2176

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6: From the properties panel, set the dimensions and positions, as shown below.

image-2177

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7: Next, drag image 0 onto the “images” layer as shown below. Convert the image to a Movie Clip (F8) called “image0”, selection “export for action script”. This will allow the image to be attached with action script, using the “identifier” as a reference.

image-2178

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8: Convert the Movie Clip again (F8) into another Movie Clip called “image Holder”.

image-2179

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 9: Use the Oval Tool to create an oval on the mask layer, setting it to have the dimensions and positions as shown below. Right click on the mask layer and choose “mask”.
Fig (a):

image-2180

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fig (b):

image-2181

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 10: The circle should now be masking the image, as shown below.

image-2182

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 11: Now we are going to create a temporary guide which will be used to place the thumbnails. Create a new layer called “guide” and see the Oval Tool to create a circle with just the stroke color and no fill. Set the dimensions and positions as figure shown below.

image-2183

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 12: Convert the ring into a Movie Clip (F8) called “guide”.

image-2184

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 13: Double click on the MOVIE CLIP, create a new layer and draw a line, using the dimensions and positions as figure shown below.

image-2185

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 14: Create a vertical line on another new layer as figure shown below.

image-2186

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 15: Now copy the 2 lines onto a single new layer.

image-2187

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 16: Open the transform panel and set “rotate” to 45 degrees.

image-2188

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 17: Now, create a new MOVIE CLIP (Insert > New Symbol) called “thumb0” and create 2 layers called “image” and “mask”. Drag the thumbnail thumb_0 on to the “image” layer, placing it at the position shown below.

image-2189

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 18: Create a circle on the “mask layer”

image-2190

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 19: Right click on the “mask” layer and chose “mask”.

image-2191

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 20: Convert the mask into an MC (F8) called thumbMask. You can reuse this MC for the other thumbnails.

image-2192

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 21: Create a dark grey (#404040) circle on a layer below the image and mask, using the positions and dimensions shown below.

image-2193

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 22: This will also be reused for the other thumbnails, so convert it to an MC called “thumbBG”. So, that’s the 1st thumbnails created, now create the other 7, using steps 18 – 23.

image-2194

 

 

 

 

 

Step 23: Next, create a layer called “thumbs” and drag thumb0 MC onto the stage, positioning it at the top over the guide. From the properties panel, give it the instance name “thumb0”.

image-2195

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 24: Convert thumb0mc into another MC called thumb Holder. Set the registration point (circled in red) to the center. To rotate the thumbnails with action script, the thumb Holder MC will be rotate so that each thumbnail doesn’t have to be rotated individually. Setting the registration point to the center makes sure the MC will rotate from the center.

image-2196

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 25: Add all 8 of the thumbnails where the lines intersect with the ring. Place thumb1 at the second point, thumb2 at the 3rd, and so on.

image-2197

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 26: When all the thumbnails have been added, go back to the Gallery Movie Clip and give the thumb Holder MC the instance name “thumb Holder”.

image-2198

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 27: Then the image Holder MC and delete the image MC inside of it. This is because we will be adding the image dynamically with action script.

image-2199

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 28: Now we are going to create a gallery with rotating thumbnails. We will now use some action script. To make the thumbnails function and to rotate them around the main image.
Step 29: Code Explanation:
Line 1: A stop() function to stop it from looping
Line 2: A variable to hold the number of images in the gallery
Line 3: A boolean variable which is used to pause / unpause the gallery

image-2200

 

 

Step 30: Code Explanation:
Line 6 – 7: A for loop is created to assign each thumbnail a property containing the name of it’s corresponding image. The “i” in the loop will start off at 0 and increment by 1 (i++), while i is below 8 (i Line 8: Now that we are storing “thumb4” in “t”, we give it the property “image” and assign it to hold image4 (“image”+i)

image-2201

 

 

Step 31: Code Explanation:
Line 9: An onPress function is create for each thumbnail
Line 10: The last displayed image will be held in current, so we use this function to remove it before the new one is attached (line11), upon pressing the thumbnail
Line 11: We use the t.image property to attach the image to “imageHolder” MC. t.image is refered to as this.image because it’s being called from withing an onPress function.
Line 12: When a thumbnail is rolled over with the mouse, the gallery will be pause (see next step), but when the thumbnail is pressed, we want them to start rotating again, so we set “pauseGallery” to equal false.

image-2202

 

 

 

Step 32: Code Explanation:
Line 14 – 16: “pauseGallery” is set to equal true when the thumbnail is rolled over.
Line 17 – 20: “pauseGallery” is set to equal false when the thumbnail is rolled out.

image-2203

 

 

 

 

Step 33: Code Explanation:
Line 21: When the gallery start image0 is attached to be displayed.
Line 22: An onEnterFrame function is created which will execute any code inbetween the braces {} repeatedly, at the frame rate (30) of the movie.
Line 23: Another loop is used to rotate each thumb counter clockwise with 0.5 degrees. This needs to be done because when the thumbnail holder is spinning round (line 27) the thumbnails will stop being upright.
Line 25: Last we rotate the thumbHolder by 0.5 degreess. You can change the value of this and line 27 to increase or decrease the speed of the rotation.

image-2130

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: By using the rectangle tool draw a rectangle. And import the image for background (file ->import -> import to stage) set as background image.

image-2131

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Now, we need to place the buttons on left-side of the background image to perform action controls. Import the images from file menu. Place 4 buttons as figure shown below

image-2132

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Name the buttons for its relevant actions as shown below

image-2133

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5: To convert the image into a MOVIE CLIP (Movie Clip Symbol) called “background”, by pressing F8.

image-2134

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6: Now we need to mask the feature for visually cropping display objects within a shape as image shown below.

image-2135

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7: To convert the image into a MOVIE CLIP (Movie Clip Symbol) called “background”, by pressing F8.

image-2136

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8: From the cropping image to mask the layer and perform some actionscript towards the masking as image shown below

image-2137

 

 

 

 

Step 9: The image should now be masking the image, as shown below.

image-2138

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 10: create a timeline to demonstrate the following function.

image-2139

 

 

 

 

Step 11: now we need to focus on second button i.e. mask. The process involves creating a shape and applying it to the “mask” property of another display object.

image-2140

 

 

 

 

Step 12: Masks can stay stationary while the object is being masked move or masks can animate above the object to create transitions and special effects as shown below

image-2141

 

 

 

 

 

Step 13: Now, create a new MOVIE CLIP (Insert > New Symbol) called “thumb0” and create 2 layers called “image” and “mask”. Drag the thumbnail thumb_0 on to the “image” layer, placing it at the position shown below.

image-2142

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 14: then the image will mask the two layers with the movie clip that has been shown in the following image.

image-2143

 

 

 

Step 15: Right click on the “mask” layer and chose “mask”.

image-2144

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 16: On the mask layer two layers have combined to perform the mask function as figure shown below.

image-2145

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 17: Then the image Holder MC and delete the image Movie Clip inside of it. This is because we will be adding the image dynamically with action script.

image-2146

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 18: Then the image Holder MC and delete the image MC inside of it. This is because we will be adding the image dynamically with action script as shown below.

image-2147

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 19: When all the thumbnails have been added, go back to the Movie Clip and give the thumb Holder Movie Clip the instance name “background”.

image-2148

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 20: Now we need to drag the mask on the right window. By using this drag mask we can able to drag the mouse cursor on the screen as figure shown below.

image-2149

 

 

 

Step 21: Now we need to make spiral movie clip on the right window to mask the two given layer as the figure shown below.

image-2150

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 22: To create the mask frame to function the mask frame on the layer style as figure shown below.

image-2151

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 23: To rotate the thumbnails with action script, the thumb Holder MC will be rotate so that each thumbnail doesn’t have to be rotated individually. Setting the registration point to the center makes sure the MC will rotate from the center. Press F8 to perform the action as figure shown below.

image-2152

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 24: Setting the registration point to the center makes sure the MC will rotate from the center. Press F8 to perform the action as figure shown below.

image-2153

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 25: Last layer to perform no function to be done to make the screen idle.
